Software Associates India is the parent company behind SA Group’s technology portfolio, covering IoT and RTLS hardware, logistics and transport software, hospital ERP systems, and industrial CMMS and demand forecasting tools. This page answers the questions we hear most often from prospective customers, partners, and job seekers evaluating the group.
What does Software Associates India do?
Software Associates India designs and sells enterprise software and IoT hardware across four product lines: RipplesIPS, our BLE and UWB real-time location system for indoor tracking; Ripples-FMS, a transport management platform built for African logistics corridors; Vikas 2.0 and Netra 2.0, our hospital ERP and ophthalmology EMR products; and SensorVision, a general-purpose IoT monitoring platform for small and mid-sized manufacturers. We also run a growing CMMS and demand forecasting practice for manufacturing and fleet customers who need to move from reactive maintenance to a planned schedule.
Is Software Associates India the same company as SA Group?
Yes. SA Group is the umbrella brand; Software Associates India (Software Associates Information Technologies) is the operating and legal entity behind it. Customers researching any of our five web properties, including ripplesiot.com, logisticsiotsoftware.in, hospitalinformationsystem.com, and wemakeiot.com, are dealing with the same company and support team.
What is RTLS, and does Software Associates India build it?
Real-time location systems (RTLS) track the position of people, equipment, or inventory inside a building using BLE, UWB, or Wi-Fi anchors. We build and sell our own RTLS hardware and software stack, RipplesIPS, aimed at warehouse and yard tracking, factory floor visibility, and healthcare use cases like patient flow and staff safety. If you are comparing RTLS for warehousing against barcode or RFID-only systems, our RTLS product pages walk through anchor density, accuracy bands, and integration options in more depth.
Do you offer transport management software for the Indian and African markets?
Yes, through Ripples-FMS, our transport management system built specifically for logistics operators moving freight across African trade corridors and Indian domestic routes. It covers route planning, container tracking, fleet billing, and AfCFTA-aware documentation. Because container tracking and transport ERP needs differ sharply between long-haul African corridors and last-mile Indian delivery, we keep separate product configurations rather than a single generic build.
What hospital software does Software Associates India provide?
Our hospital ERP line has two products: Vikas 2.0, a full hospital management system covering registration, billing, pharmacy, and inventory, and Netra 2.0, a specialised ophthalmology EMR built for eye hospitals and clinics. Both are aimed at hospitals in India looking for hospital ERP software that does not require the overhead of a large multinational HIS vendor. We also build RTLS specifically for hospitals, used for patient flow tracking and asset location inside clinical environments.
Can small manufacturers use your CMMS or demand forecasting tools without an enterprise budget?
Yes. Our CMMS and demand forecasting tools were built with SMB and mid-market manufacturers in mind, not just large enterprise plants. The CMMS side covers preventive maintenance scheduling and fleet maintenance tracking, and the demand forecasting side helps smaller operations plan inventory and production without hiring a dedicated planning team. SensorVision, our IoT monitoring platform, is priced and packaged the same way, as a global SMB and SME platform rather than an India-only enterprise tool.
How is Software Associates India different from a generic WMS vendor?
Most WMS vendors sell a single generic product and expect every warehouse to fit it. We instead help customers work out whether they need a full warehouse management system, an RTLS layer for existing racking, or a lighter transport and inventory tool, before recommending a product. Our guide on choosing the best WMS lays out that decision process for teams comparing options, including WMS for small business versus full enterprise deployments.
Where is Software Associates India based?
Software Associates India operates out of Kozhikode, Bengaluru and Singapore, with a wider team supporting customers across India and African logistics markets.
How do I get in touch or request a demo?
Each of our product sites, RipplesIPS for RTLS, Ripples-FMS for transport management, and the hospital ERP site for Vikas and Netra, carries its own demo request form. For general enquiries about Software Associates India as a company, or questions that span more than one product line, our main contact page routes the enquiry to the right product team directly.
